You cannot make a game with the syllable 'tris' in it. Nintendo does own that, however, they do not own the idea of falling blocks. You could have a game called Tetrix and it could be an almost exact clone of Tetris and it wouldn't be infringing a copywright. If you released it you would probably get a lawsuit, but you might win.

I had a feeling that they owned at least half of that name....It's now called something else, but now I got to change the sufix....darnit....does anyone know if you patent a video game, or can you just copyright (which I think you can only do to a game)?

i dont know
DUDE SLAM ON BRAKES!
You actually want to buy a patent and copyrights for you r game?
Oh Good Lord....

Nope...not right now at least....I'm just curious on that subject
-
i dont know
Well as far as a patent...
(hey im only 15 so deal with me here)
I believe you have to be "granted a patent".
And as for copyrights... those just protect the actual names and text of the game...

If you don't register your 'creation' with the copyright office for US$20, you can file a lawsuit, but not for damage money. Anyways, anyone can make a combination of Tetris and Pong, you don't own the idea.

what kinda sounds do you need?

I am the worst best coder
Preferably some normal sounds like bing, boom, and the stuff, and a few background music

A search on google with the right keywords could probably get something that would allow you to download sounds for free. Or do you want them to be original 'cause you're gonna patent your game, as you say.

That's the first thing I got at google. It's sound effects.
